When I was a boy, my uncle, my cousin and I went hunting for them in the 
backyard. We found a tunnel, dug the thing out then somehow got it into a 
jar. They are huge mean looking things!!!

Why would the spider evolve venom that only really works on primates though? 
Or maybe its just an unfortunate side effect...

Exactly.  There are no primates native to AU.  The venom did the job
it needed to do, which wasn't much because of the strength of the
fangs and size of the spider, and just as a side effect it happend to
be realy deadly to humans.  Kind of like asprin.  Asprin does what it
needs to do for willow trees and just happens to be a wonderdrug for
humans.
